The effect of clearance in the compression… … Fig. 86. shall be filled by compression with air at nearly if not quite theadmission pressure, and the cut-off should be such that the airshall expand down to the back pressure. This latter is alwaysof importance for the efficient action of the machine, but if theclearance is small the compression…
